Making and working with plant based developers, workshop presented by the Sustainable Darkroom
In this half day workshop you will be introduced to the work of Sustainable Darkroom, an artist run charity working towards a more ecological future for photography. Hannah Fletcher and Edd Carr from Sustainable Darkroom will teach a comprehensive workshop in making and working with plant based developers. These are developers activated by ascorbate and characterised by plants. During the session we will expose and develop several rolls of black and white film in the garden. You will learn how to make your own developers from household ingredients + local plant matter and use it to develop the black and white films. During the process, Hannah and Edd will also share insights into using this developer across paper based prints and moving image.
After the workshop, we will scan all the images made for you to keep as digital files.
